Fans of defunct bands generally fall into two camps: the ones who want to see a band reunite, and the ones who don’t want to have their memories of the band sullied by something that could prove to be subpar. In the case of Talking Heads fans, however, the tension existing between the members has always made it seem so unlikely that a reunion would ever happen that “what if…?” conversations rarely tend to happen because, well, what would be the point?
That situation has changed somewhat over the course of the past year, with all four members of the band – David Byrne , Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth – having reached a point in their relationship where they’re not just doing Q&As for film screenings and talk shows, they’re actually hanging out on occasion.
As such, when Frantz took to social media over the weekend and posted a photo of the Pantages Theater along with the words, “We shall return,” it caused a flurry of fan activity that was very heavy on people demanding to know if this meant what they thought it meant, ordering Frantz not to play with their emotions, and the like.
